Issue/Introduction

The Fortinet trap fadcTrapMemberHCDown is missing information in Spectrum.  It is defined as

fadcTrapMemberHCDown

 "Trap sent if A pool member has occurring health check down."

 But it does not say which pool member is down.

Environment

Release : 21.2

Cause

The trap has only 1 varbind included, fadcSysSerial which pertains to the load balancer itself and not the specific pool member that is down.  There is no way to know from this trap which pool member is down.  This trap serves as a notification to warn that a pool member is down but dies not tell you which pool member.

    DESCRIPTION
    "Trap sent if A pool member has occurring health check down."
-- 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.0.610

Resolution

If you wish to have more information in this alarm, please discuss this with the Fortinet vendor and get them to change their trap so that it includes the pool member name in the trap and not the serial number as it provides no usable information.

Below you can see that the serial number has a single value for this device but the fadcRSName is a table of the pool members. This would be more useful to include in the trap.
